Power Rankings 12th May 2022 Welcome to our kickoff edition of the 2022 Power Rankings! We missed you, you missed us, and Finland doesn’t want to miss out on its chance to win an IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship on home ice after making history with Olympic gold in Beijing. However, the Finns, who debut in first place, will have plenty of competition from the likes of second-place Canada, the defending World Champions from 2021, and third-place Switzerland, which boasts key NHL talent up front and brings strong teamwork. 1 FIN Gotta win or our fans will have a Tampere tantrum 2 CAN What? Second? We’re the bestest of the best! 3 SUI Nico! Timo! Let’s gooooooooo! 4 CZE Jalonen + lions with crowns = gold for sure 5 GER We have the best Finnish coach named Toni 6 SWE What we need is an all-Havelid roster 7 SVK Uncage the Slafkovsky! 8 USA Mr. Jones and me tell each other fairy tales 9 DEN Aging, but looked hot in Beijing 10 LAT New plan: beat Canada 2-0 on the last day 11 NOR Like a fjord, we’re kinda just always here 12 KAZ No relation to Zack Kassian 13 ITA Too many legionaries, not enough centurions 14 GBR Who needs gold when you’ve got the Platinum Jubilee? 15 FRA Exactement comme le retour de Mario Lemieux 16 AUT Follow every rainbow till you find your dream!

While the whole hockey planet is preparing for the World Championships which will start tomorrow in Finland... in the other part of the globe, organized a mini-3- teams-tournament in the huge St. Petersburg arena, a former USSR championship You imagine, the arena full of enormous former soviet superstars like Tretiak, Mikhailov, Kasatonov, Datsyuk etc.. and super happy fans waving russian flags, celebrating and pushing their glorious national team to the triuph against opponents from and Yes, because to the complete shock of local authorities declined the invitation for obvious reason (since they prefered to play the world championships) They just added the Russian U20 Nationa Team to the tourney. Interesting was that all naturalized Canadiens and Americans suddenly disappeared and Belarus fielded a roster completely of BLR born players for the first time since the invention of wheel, their head coach, the Canadian Woodcroft is still here, he even signed a new deal with BLR federation for next 2 years. The fact that the guy is a bit disoriented was generally well known, but that so much ! This is really surprising, he even mentioned after the matches what a marvelous chance, what a great opportunity for his young players to shine in such huge tournament... Team Russia obviously won the tourney, The local TV showed how the captain received a beautiful trophy infront of super excited local fans No single mention that world hockey continuing to live without the Russians/Belarussians and it will hardly change anytime soon… If anyone interested here the results Exhibition Games (1st and 2nd May in Tula, Russia) - 5-2 - 3-2 after Overtime "Ex-USSR" or however the name of the Tournament was (6th-8th May in St. Petersburg, Russia) Gold Medal Match: - 3-2 1. 2. 3. U20

what is surprising me the most is that Italy has nobody listed in the broadcast rights for the tournament (even has ) https://blob.iihf.com/iihf-media/iihfmvc/media/2022wm/broadcast/2022_iihf_wm_-_bp_list_20220511.pdf but in other hand this mean the all Youtube matches streams will be available in Italia

Yeah especially slovak talents The guy was never any close to be like he was before after this season in that hole ... we can safely say it burried his career and talent

I really envy your goalies

Yeah same feeling here, New Jersey would be fine for him, anyway Montreal will certainly pick Wright so if the Devils will choose anyone else (some rumors claims there are aiming for a D-men in the 1st round, so maybe even Nemec) Slaf will go to Arizona or Seattle I assume

Looks a pretty solid roster. The most notable absence being certainly Miceli due injury and Ihnacak not called anymore. But great goaltending is secured with Bernard and Fadani in the net. It is going to be a disagreeable opponent for everyone for sure Anyway Diego Kostner ? I was sure the guy already retired and who the hell is Brandon Mc Nally ?

According to this, there some temporary ice venues in Portugal Diaspora While Andorra has its own ice rink, Liechtenstein, the other microstate participating in Füssen, hasn’t. Its players practise their ice hockey in neighboring countries Austria and Switzerland. Nor does Algeria. The players on its roster live in the diaspora and have Algerian roots and mainly developed their hockey skills abroad, like France or Great Britain. Unfortunately, Dundalk Ice Dome, the only regulation size Irish ice rink, closed a few years ago, in 2010. However, there is hope that a new ice rink will open in the future to give the program another boost. In the meantime, the Irish travel to neighbour Northern Ireland to hit the ice in Belfast. Portugal has had some temporary ice venues and developed its ice hockey program via inline hockey as did Colombia. However, the latter is making a lot of progress having participated several times in the Amerigol Cup in Florida winning the 2018 edition and recently participated in the Dallas Spring Classic, an event powered by NHL club Dallas Stars. In Fussen they showed their mastery of the game coming out on top with four wins and one tie winning the tournament.
